De kleine zielen is het eerste gedeelte van de romancyclus De boeken der kleine zielen, die zich afspeelt in Den Haag.

Fragmenten uit een recensie ten tijde van de eerste druk (Elsevier, 1902): deze Haagse roman geeft van de Hagenaars een weinig lieflijke portrettengalerij. Toch geloven wij niet dat speciaal Haagse ondeugden en Haagse kleinzieligheden worden getekend in deze roman. Mensen van elders moeten typen herkennen. Voor niemand is dit echter een troost. Couperus toont zich in dit werk een meester in de kunst van karaktertekening. Al die mensen uit het boek leven, leven zo krachtig in ons, dat wij hun karakters onthouden, lang na de lectuur van het koste...

Rosmersholm is a play written in 1886 by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. In the estimation of many critics the piece is Ibsen’s masterwork, only equalled by The Wild Duck of 1884. As expressed by the protagonist, Rosmer, the theme of the play is social and political change, in which the traditional ruling classes relinquish their right to impose their ideals on the rest of society, but the action is entirely personal, resting on the conduct of the immoral, or amoral, “free thinking” heroine, Rebecca, who sets herself to undermine Rosmer’s religious and political beliefs because of his influential position in the community. Rebecca has abandoned not only Christianity but, unlike Rosm...

Thomas Bulfinch (July 15, 1796 – May 27, 1867) explains the his work is “an attempt tell the stories of mythology in such a manner as to make them a source of amusement. We have endeavored to tell them correctly, according to the ancient authorities, so that when the reader finds them referred to he may not be at a loss to recognize the reference. Thus we hope to teach mythology not as a study, but as a relaxation from study; to give our work the charm of a story-book, yet by means of it to impart a knowledge of an important branch of education.”

The Bulfinch version of myth, presents the myths in their literary versions, without unnecessary violence, sex, psychology or ethnograp...
